Who dat? The only thing that keeps me from going on Jeopardy and eclipsing
Ken Jennings is fear that I will be faced with a category involving modern
music or performers (can't bring myself to say "singers").

My favorite on-point anecdote has to do with megastar Brandy, who probably
makes more in a day than I make in a year. When she "starred" in Cinderella
on TV, she not only breathed in the middle of a phrase, she breathed in the
middle of a word!! Who taught her to sing?

On a figure skating newsgroup, one poster compared the facial contortions of
Michael Bolton, who for some odd reason was included in a skating show, to
those of someone passing a kidney stone. Singing is not supposed to be
painful, but if you turn off the sound and just watch their faces, modern
singers all seem to be in agony.

Needless to say, my TV goes to "mute" when I see a modern singer/group walk
up to the microphone.

It's a generational thing...I wouldn't walk across the street to see any
of the acts you mention. IMHO there has been no good music since the
1960s.


... Yes, with the possible exception of Chris de Burgh ...
